In Memory of Alfred Bone Shirt: Chasing Away Lewis and Clark Pretenders

Frontline Warriors on Native America Calling: Most Censored in Indian Country

and sewage water snow of the tourist resort Arizona Snowbowl. Photo Save the Peaks 2011.

It was the sort of in-your-face act that people love. As a final revolutionary act, when Sac and Fox radio host Harlan McKosato left the national radio show Native America Calling, he asked for interviews with Censored News, aimed at giving voice to those that the radio station was most likely to want to silence. Klee Benally joined a great panel from the frontline and Harlan, now in the Spirit World, went out with a bang. -- Brenda, Censored News.

Great show on Native America Calling today, which revealed the most censored Native Americans and issues of 2011.

From the Tarsands threat to the Ogallala aquifer and arrests at the White House to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline, to the lockdowns to protect San Francisco Peaks and the abuse by the US Border Patrol, Native Americans spoke out on actions largely ignored by the media this year.

Debra White Plume of Owe Aku, Bring Back the Way, spoke on the Tarsands and its threat to the land and water of Lakotas. White Plume is a longtime activist and grandmother who has also led the fight against uranium mining on Lakota Lands.

Translation into French by Christine Prat

Our hearts are broken by the sudden passing of our friend Klee Benally. Reflecting on Klee's life, we remember the words of Che Guevara that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.

Klee never surrendered, he never surrendered to capitalism, the media, or the forces of conformity that sought to change who he was.
